STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- An NYPD spokesman said Thursday that the search continues for a girl who ran away from an intervention center for the second time this month on Sunday.

Jennifer Lewitinn, 13, was last seen at her residence - the Geller House at 77 Chicago Ave. -- at about 8:25 p.m. Sunday, according to a written statement from the office of the NYPD's deputy commissioner for public information.

It's the second time this month Jennifer has run away from the center - she was reported missing on May 5, only to return safely a few days later, according to police. An NYPD spokesman said she suffers from depression and bipolar mood disorder, and takes medication.

Shelley Ruchti, a spokeswoman for the Geller House, declined comment about Jennifer, citing federal privacy laws, and wouldn't comment about security policies at the center in the wake of the teen's repeat disappearances.

"We work closely with the NYPD," Ms. Ruchti said.

The Geller House has had its success stories over the years, and last year, a coalition of Staten Island lawmakers pushed through legislation in Albany to keep it from closing.

Jennifer was last seen wearing a red jacket and black hat. She's 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 208 pounds, according to police.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS, submit a tip online at the Crime Stoppers Website or text 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577. All calls will be kept confidential.
